Nice looking boat and looks like an interesting area to run it in. Are you skippering it or have you got a skipper to run the boat for you? Have you used the existing owners pricing or have you worked out you own tariff?

Good luck

Im skippering myself, I am sick of working in a office and running other peoples businesses. I have done a bit of both with the pricing – compared the existing owners with other local charter boats. As its my first year i really want to build the turnover to build my rep, so im being very competitive in my area and still making a fair profit.

No haven't done it yet, think the WiSe scheme is really good, hopefully will get a chance before the summer gets going.
